摘要：In recent years, the topic of distributed optimization hasbecome a canonicalproblem in the study of networked systems. In thedistributed network, the agentscollectively minimize the globaltime-varying objective function that can be written asthe sum of several local time-varying objective functions in general. To tackle onlineconvex optimization problems in a collaborative and distributed manner, we proposed aweight decay distributed adaptive online gradient algorithm, which incorporatesdistributed optimization methods with adaptive strategies. Theoretical analysis clearlyillustrates the difference between weight decay and L_2 regularization for distributedadaptive gradient algorithms. We also analyzed the dynamic regret bound for the proposedalgorithm. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our proposed algorithm works well inpractice and compares favorably to existing distributed online optimization schemes.
